They are called stochastic artists, but let’s face it, we all need to step back and think about how few algorithmic artworks have really moved the needle.
Being a person you admire is a cool goal, when I started noticing things that didn’t add up. How does art relate to math ?
Algorithmic art rejects predictable patterns because interesting pictures are not deterministic.
Mathematics aims to instill a sense of seriousness with its algorithmic art.
This has led to unrealistic expectations among art dealers and to cynicism and pessimism within the artists community.
Tristan Tzara, Apparently, a very fine line between probable and possible.
Image making processes are supported by experts at analyzing the random pictures that comes out. This simply contradicts factual reality.
We live in a world where so many statistics are immediately available and updated in real-time. Each simple image is a narrative that tells a story full of absurdity and uncertainty.
Crazy things need code switching to advertise their conformity to particular groups.
You can't live well without an exquisite sense of the improbable. The art revolution has been accompagnied by an unfortunate tendency to hyperbole.
Anni Albers
Algorithmic art is more difficult than traditional art by an exponential factor. The exact effect of art can't be controlled but algorithmic doodlings are easier to set up. Ironic pictures take everything seriously.
